Sr Engineer, Structural Systems

POSITION PURPOSE

The Senior Engineer, Structural Systems is responsible for executing structural engineering analysis, design, and validation activities in support of product development programs and existing product platforms. The role focuses on applying established structural engineering principles and methods to ensure products meet performance, cost, manufacturability, and regulatory requirements.

Reports to the Global Engineering Chief Engineer, Structural Systems.

• Perform structural engineering analysis and design of product systems and components, including wind, seismic, transportation, installation, and operational loading conditions.
• Execute structural calculations, develop models, and apply appropriate engineering methods to ensure structural integrity and compliance with requirements.
• Support product development and product enhancement projects by providing structural engineering input and solutions.
• Contribute to the development of structural design criteria, analysis approaches, and validation plans under guidance from senior technical leadership.
• Support structural testing activities, including structural load testing, vibration testing, and seismic validation, and evaluate results to recommend design improvements.
• Prepare and maintain structural engineering calculations, reports, drawings, and specifications in accordance with engineering standards and project requirements.
• Apply established structural analysis tools, calculation methods, and design standards in the execution of engineering work.
• Collaborate with global engineering product platform teams, product design, and manufacturing to ensure structural designs are feasible, cost‑effective, and manufacturable.
• Support resolution of structural engineering issues across product platforms and regional applications.
• Identify and communicate opportunities for improving structural design practices, tools, and engineering efficiency.
• Support product cost reduction, quality improvement, and manufacturing optimization initiatives.
• Understand and apply relevant codes and standards in the design and evaluation of structural systems and components.
• Use sound engineering principles and practices to solve complex structural problems within defined scope.
• Contribute to a work environment that promotes technical excellence, structural integrity, and continuous improvement.
• Strive for teamwork and collaboration in a global product development environment.
• Adhere to the Company’s Code of Conduct and Business Ethics standards.

• Effective written and verbal communication skills with a globally diverse audience.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively to understand and translate design and process requirements into structural solutions.
• Ability to understand product/component function, reliability, and quality requirements.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Strong time‑management and ability to manage multiple technical priorities.

• Bachelor’s degree in Structural or Mechanical Engineering required.
• Advanced degree preferred.

• Typically 5–10 years of structural or mechanical engineering experience.
• Product development experience preferred.
• Global experience preferred.

• Experience with structural analysis tools, including Finite Element Analysis (e.g., SAP
  2000, ANSYS, Autodesk Simulation) and numerical analysis software (e.g., Mathcad).
• Knowledge of structural design methods, including cold‑formed steel design (AISI S100) and load determination (ASCE
  7).
• Familiarity with structural testing methods and correlation of analysis with test results.
• Knowledge of materials and ability to determine or source material properties for analysis.

• Travel as needed to global engineering centers in Europe and Asia, and occasionally to regional manufacturing facilities, test laboratories, technical conferences, and professional association meetings.

• Working hours are the standard 40 hours per week (8:30 am‑5:00 pm with flexible start/finish times allowed).
• Travel, both domestically and…
